there are many copy editing projects that do this.

If you mean the left leaning tone / bias, that will be a bit more spicy. But general grammar, tone, ambiguity , superlatives – that’s the goal of copy editing.

I copy edit typesetting , for example.

No, no I mainly mean non-neutral phrasing and/or too personal. Especially for people’s articles. (“And they released that greeeat album! But unfortunately the critics did not understand them… Booh!)
